Abstract
The mango, or Mangifera indica L., is one of the most well-known tropical fruits in the world and a member of the Anacardiaceae family. Additionally, the mango fruit is rich in a number of phytonutrients, vitamins, carotenoids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, polyphenols, amino acids, and nutritional minerals including potassium and copper. Gallic acid is the most prevalent phenol compound in the mango mesocarp, with mangiferin, gallic acid, gallotannins, quercetin, isoquercetin, ellagic acid, and -glucogallin all being found there. There have been claims made about the antiviral, antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and immuno-modulatory properties of M. indica extract. A total of 81 trees from 18 different mango (M. indica) genotypes were collected and studied and their characters are evaluated. Mango plant extract were collected and used to study about the physicochemical parameters, HPTLC, antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds were studied.
